Thanks for all the comments. It's a little rough - my first compound cut and first attempt at rosewood (at least I think it's rosewood). I was trying to figure out the right blades to use. My blank was only 1.5" square so I scaled it down to 3/4. The legs got to be pretty spindly, but it held together OK.

Funny thing happened - drilling the pilot holes on the drill press, the drill bit got very hot. I drilled through one spot then turned the blank 90 degrees to drill through in the other direction. I was holding the blank while drilling and my thumb and forefinger happened to block the ends of the 1st drilled hole. When the drill bit cut through into the 1st hole, it was so hot I got a steam burn on the pad of my finger. Got out the vise for the rest of the holes.

BTW - that feed-n-wax makes a beautiful finish on the rosewood and on the birch plywood box. Good lead from someone here - I forget who.
